After seeing that chart I'll have to try the LRX in my 7-08:) Looks like it will out shoot my 120 tsx load in the 7-08 and my 150 tsx load in the 308. I have several of both and don't care who wins!! They are both great rounds!!! Its not a REAL pissing contest without the ballistical skullpfhuk. Drop, Drift, MV, FPE. 100-500yds. Now its a "numbers don't matter, look at the pile of chit I've killed, you can't shoot, your momma has a mustache" battle..... [/quote]

I chose 308 primarily because ammo is everywhere and cheaper. Even though I handload I sometimes find deals on loaded ammo I can't pass up.
While I've not loaded any, some of the heavier 190-210 gr 308 bullets look darn good in a 308. At least on paper. Don't know how you answer that with a 7-08.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

.308 has more knock-down power That's funny right there.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

The 308 is UBER, it'll knock wooly mammoth off their feet.

Yeah, and what do they bring to the table that a 7/08/175gr Partition doesn't? That's like arguing how a 165 BT is vastly superior to a 150 BT.

SquatToPee,
The only thing you can "bring" to ANY table is Imagination,unless you of course count Pretend,too.

Maybe, but at least I can SEE the top of the table without standing on my tippy-toes. Maybe you need some fuggin' head-vise time Uncle Fester.

Why not have another, non-defective .270 WSM barrel screwed on?
How was it determined to be a bad barrel?

SquatToPee used herself as a "barometer" of "evaluation".................

I've owned guns in both chamberings and - honest to God - it's hard to tell any difference between them at practical hunting ranges (350 yards and in). Even if you're limiting yourself to factory loads, you can find lots of options with the 7-08. Get whatever turns your crank. You'll be equally pleased.
